'We must seek Ushkbál the Overseer, then. It is he who will accomplish what we seek.'

Paying no heed of any surprise on your face, Kurtil thinks for a long moment.

'He has agreed, agreed to talk to us at least, and there is hope for more. Surely, he is found at his post, north of here by the great foundry, which lies above Maudhúl Vôr.'

You have not found Ushkbál the Overseer, but you have found signs of a bloody struggle. You should follow the footprints leading from the place and see where they lead.
